Vacation Bible Snooze (Tales from the Back Pew)

My Thoughts:
This was a cute book. As a reading teacher I can say with confidence that the pictures and the silliness will appeal to kids of all ages. This book was brought to us by the creators of The Black Lagoon Series, which I love. I don’t think this book quite achieves the same standard, but I am not certain a kid would care. There is certainly more than enough to keep child and parent poring over the pages talking about God, and that’s the important part, right?

    1. Linda, it was a fun book. I might have liked it better if I hadn’t known to compare it to the Black Lagoon Series. This one missed the wit by just a hair, but the silliness is great.
